Some of you may have been wondering about the girls’ rank on ORICON with their latest single. Perfume charted within the Top 10 for 7 consecutive days, rounded out their weekly charting at #2 . Congratulations to the girls for selling over 80,000 copies of their comeback single!

We should be very proud of how much Perfume has grown in popularity. Ever since their big break out with Polyrhythm, the girls have charted with 6 consecutive Top 10 singles! Please continue to support Perfume and purchase their releases for the years to come!

First off, we hope you all enjoyed our April Fool’s joke. It was just a last-minute idea and bad photoshop I slapped together last night. Yes, that isn’t even A~chan in the photo, but Tiffany from Girls’ Generation/SNSD (amazing how similar they look from the nose down, yes?).  I did plan on releasing a “Kashiyuka version” as well, matching with the SNSD trend on using Yoona’s photo, but that got scrapped. I’m glad most of you guys didn’t take it seriously, but it’s definitely an idea I’d like to entertain you all with, if Perfume plans on releasing a commercial-grade fragrance to be purchased at department stores. To those who looked forward to it being true, I apologize as it won’t (for now).

Other Perfume-related April Fool’s jokes that have surfaced include a Perfume Music Festival that “took place” today and the return of Aprils, a parody troupe that once parodied Perfume.

However, today did not only bring jokes, but real news. Their newly announced track Fushizen na Girl will have its first full airing on Perfume LOCKS! radio today at 11:05 PM and their PV will air on M-ON! by midnight. Stay tuned, as we will update this post with the results as they arrive!

[Edit2] Tokuma Japan only uploaded the partial PV as I’m pretty sure the full will be included in the LE edition, but here it is. M-ON! did air the full PV which you can download here.

Watch the PV on YouTube.

Have our prayers been truly answered? Well, it seems that someone has leaked an unreleased photo which is now floating around the internet, seeming to be a picture of A~chan advertising for the girls’ own perfume brand “Juicy Fragrance”. Perhaps a tribute to their “lost song” that Yasutaka Nakata accidentally deleted during their Complete Best era? Will there be different versions for Nocchi and Kashiyuka? I’ll let you be the judge of this.

April Fools! Please continue to the real news.
